Comments about ‘Study shows declining life span for some US women’

Its certain that there are many contributing factors to include: 1) increased
obesity; 2) decreased physical activity; 3) decreased social contact; 4)
decreased consumption of nutritionally sound foods. Since the rate of smokers
has remained steady for many years, it is unlikely that it has contributed to
lowering age at time of death.

I think that the lethal combination of obesity, tobacco, and overall poor health
are the main problem. Women are affected by being overweight much more then men
are. Obesity takes a huge toll on organs, joints, and muscles and the body
cannot keep up with the abuse.
